To find the final amount in the account, you can use the compound interest formula: \[ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \] where: - \( A \) is the final amount, - \( P \) is the principal amount (\$3,100), - \( r \) is the annual interest rate (7% or 0.07), - \( n \) is the number of times interest is compounded per year (52 weeks), - \( t \) is the number of years (6). Plug in the values: \[ A = 3100 \left(1 + \frac{0.07}{52}\right)^{52 \times 6} \] Calculating this gives: \[ A \approx 3100 \left(1 + 0.00134615\right)^{312} \] \[ A \approx 3100 \left(1.00134615\right)^{312} \] \[ A \approx 3100 \times 1.2337 \text{ (approx.)} \] \[ A \approx 3,824.47 \] So, the final amount after 6 years would be approximately **\$3,824.47** when rounded to two decimal places.
